Updates, Updates, and More Updates

2009 October 21

Oh where to begin…..

I think I’ll start with Civilization: End (formerly known as Journals of the Apocalypse).

* I’ve written a new chapter.
* I’ve realized I’m missing at least one or two in the beginning.
* I’ve realized that the existing chapters are not descriptive enough.
* I’ve made the decision to take it from journal format.
* I will include ’some’ journal excerpts
* I’ve designed a t-shirt
* I’m torn on self-publishing or going through a publisher.
* I have an incredible support team in Kristy and Beth.

Writing tools from Horror Realm:

Everyone I spoke with including some big names in the genre all seem to use Word or Open Office. Very interesting. I think I got caught in all the gimmicky software instead of realizing I just need to write. It doesn’t matter if Q10 makes typing noises or this does that or vice versa. As long as I am COMFORTABLE!!

I came back from HR and decided to try plain old Word and you know what? I didn’t miss the other stuff. It just is a bunch of bells and whistles. I can block out all the things Word does along the way and then use those tools like grammar and spell check to my advantage eventually. That’s just me.

Mallory Updates:

* She is now rolling over both ways (when she wants)
* Sleeping on her belly
* Growing like and infectious disease of cuteness
* Looking more and more like her Mommy everyday
* Wrapping me tighter and tighter around her finger

That’s all for today guys!

REMEMBER, IF IT’S A FAST ZOMBIE, SHOOT IT. IF IT’S A SLOW ONE? WELL, JUST WHIP OUT THAT MACHETE AND TAKE IT’S HEAD RIGHT OFF!

    Ben you are doing a great job, don’t stop now. I cannot wait to see what you add in the beginning, let alone how it will end!

    And MJ is just the best bundle of cuteness EVER!!!!

    Crawling’s on the horizon! Best to have a word with the puppehs now, let them know to expect fur, ear, and tail pulling! :)

    Oh, and keep their food somewhere Squish can’t get to it, because if she can reach it, she’ll eat it! LOL
